What still has to happen

Now: tighten the first slice around real phase 1 categories and items.
Then: improve flagged-order reasons and review-state clarity.
Then: make split-order and table context more believable.
Then: expand cautiously from the clean slice instead of rushing to full menu sprawl.
After that: Clover mapping sheet, testing pass, pilot cleanup.

If the item slice is not getting cleaner and more believable, the project is not actually getting closer to pilot use.
